Don Murray's 1963 Ferrari Superamerica was named Best in Show at the fifth-annual Rancho Mirage Desert Classic Concours, while the People's Choice Award went to Peter Giacobbi's 1959 Ferrari Testa Rossa replica. Giacobbi hand built the car from authentic Ferrari components.

The event drew more than 250 vintage cars and motorcycles that were displayed on the green at the Westin Mission Hills Resort & Spa in Rancho Mirage, Calif. The event was produced in partnership with Palm Springs Life magazine.

The weekend of events included the Desert Tour Classic, the Desert Auction and the concours d'elegance. In addition, the Classique on Saturday morning drew hundreds of people who lined the streets of the Coachella Valley to watch the Desert Tour participants parade past.
